I posted the first picture some months ago. It was at my dentist waiting room. I could not change it at the time but on my last visit I was able to do so. The reception staff (who I asked permission) just said go ahead with what makes you happy.

Now happier.
So you have now organised all of the set the wrong way around, end grain showing on the tops plus any weight put onto the top they won’t take, rotate 90 degrees and any weight is then transversed into the legs either side. :Now happier.

If the top "shelf" does collapse the weight will transfer through the legs of the second inner piece and if this then collapses into the legs of the smaller third inner piece

That only applies to the top/outer piece.

But each box will of itself be stronger if the joints are in compression.If the top "shelf" does collapse the weight will transfer through the legs of the second inner piece and if this then collapses into the legs of the smaller third inner piece
